Examples of possible connection combinations
For connecting two ports of different applications, the applications must have been assigned to the
same machine application.
Note: Connections are only possible if the length and the type of the application data types of the
ports match each other.
• An output port of an application is connected to an input port of another application. When the
ports are connected, a green line indicates that the connection is possible.
• Example: The output port LPortAxisOut1 (data types: WORD, INT, DINT) of Master:
Application A is connected to the input port LPortAxisIN1 (data types WORD, INT,
DINT) of Slave: Application B.
• If the application data types of two ports are not the same, the ports cannot be connected to
each other. A red line indicates that the connection is not possible.
• Example: A connection between the output port LPortAxisOut1 (data types: WORD,
INT, DINT) of Master: Application A and the input port LPort32In1 (data type INT) of
Slave: Application B is not possible:
• A black line indicates connections set between two ports.
